To the Stars Academy (TTSA) posted a third Department of Defense (DoD) UFO video in coordination with the posting of an opinion piece by TTSA member Chris Mellon in The Washington Post. Mellon is a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence. He served during the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations. Mellon is currently the national security affairs advisor for TTSA. This video is perhaps the most impressive, but very few details about the video were released, and although most of the media attention has been supportive of the DoD’s UFO program, some doubts and confusion have also arisen. The new video is being referred to by the TTSA as the “2015 GO FAST FOOTAGE.” According to TTSA, this video, as with the others, is from the Advanced Targeting Forward-Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) system of a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet. The actual footage of the object is a little over 30 seconds long. The TTSA video presenting the footage is about two … [Read more...] about Third DoD UFO video posted with Washington Post

CBS News Logo To prevent veteran suicides, wounded warrior presses for holistic care
"If you look at me, you would see just a normal young guy who is pretty big, but I am pretty limited in what I can do, and the pain that keeps me from enjoying life is pretty frustrating," explains retired Army Sgt. Josh Renschler, who suffered a severe back and brain injury in Iraq during his first tour. It happened on Valentines Day in 2004, catapulting Renschler away from the frontlines and onto a new battlefield: advocating for veterans' care. On Thursday, Renschler went to Capitol Hill to testify at a House Veterans' Affairs Committee hearing alongside the parents of three veterans who committed suicide. When his testimony began, tears and emotions blistered Renschler's calm voice, but he was able to move on and express a clear message. "We need a system that serves the veteran, not one that requires the veteran to accommodate to the system," Renschler said. Innately stubborn, Renschler spent the first few years after his injury rejecting the idea that he would never … [Read more...] about CBS News Logo To prevent veteran suicides, wounded warrior presses for holistic care
Doctor to release findings on toxic dust from Iraq
There are new developments coming this week in a story CBS News has been reporting on since last spring. A mysterious lung illness is affecting veterans who were exposed to open burn pits, which the U.S. military used in Iraq and Afghanistan to torch everything from batteries to body parts. This week, those veterans, including Army combat medic Will Thompson, may finally get some answers. Thompson was often the life of the party while stationed in Iraq in 2004. Today, at age 43, he's an outpatient at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Virginia. The recipient of a double lung transplant, he is struggling to stay alive."I want to live as long as I can, and if this mask can give me a couple more years, then that's what I am going to do," he said. Thompson says the issues began during his second Iraqi deployment near Camp Victory in 2009. "We did notice a couple of times when I was Skyping with him, 'Why are you coughing so much?'" said his wife, Suzanne. Thompson was initially diagnosed with … [Read more...] about Doctor to release findings on toxic dust from Iraq
CBS News Logo Oversight committee: Flynn investigation to be launched by DOD inspector general
Last Updated Apr 27, 2017 9:08 PM EDT The ranking member of the House Oversight Committee said he doesn't understand why the White House is "covering up for Michael Flynn" after President Trump fired him. At a Thursday morning press conference with members of the House and Senate, Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, said that the office of the Defense Department inspector general will be launching its own investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn's dealings with the Russian government, specifically his apparent failure to disclose payments by a foreign source."General Flynn's attorney says he discussed his trip to Moscow with the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency), but we have no evidence, not a shred, that he disclosed his payments which is what he emoluments clause is all about, from RT, the Kremlin-backed propaganda outlet. And we have no evidence -- zilch -- that he obtained permission from the secretary of the Army and secretary of State to accept any … [Read more...] about CBS News Logo Oversight committee: Flynn investigation to be launched by DOD inspector general
